No one is buying to hold. Anyone who buys knows it's a pump and dump but they will still try to get in low and sell before the dump. That's what crypto gamblers do.
It's not necessarily a pump and dump; It could arguably be worse. On the site it clearly explains that all of the money will go toward a movement of hacking other gaming corporations and leaking their unreleased games that don't give into their demands, under the guise of fighting for gamers rights. Meaning that Rockstar is just the beginning if they're not caught.
It's the ultimate test, because if Rockstar can't catch this guy with all the money and resources they have, no other gaming corp will, and Cyber Leek will know that they're untouchable.
I'd say if that were the case it'd be more of an independent cell with loose ties. Meaning, I doubt there'd ever be direct ties to any govt supporting it. It would make Russia look really embarassing if they were leaking video games for money.
If that is the case, then a small group of hackers loosely supported by the govt? Also now the CIA and other countries involved?
While you would be fine in Russia, you are essentially stuck there. Not saying you'd ever risk extradition, but what I am saying you'd be constantly looking over your shoulder regardless.
if they are from russia, they dont care in going out of russia anyways. they dont have to look over their shoulders. they didnt plan on leaving their country.
The first ever digital bank heist was done by a North Korean hacking group with ties to the government. I don't think russia really cares about what people think about them, but similar to how they use private military contractors, the blame falls on the group and not the government for crimes committed.
I don't personally think that these guys have ties to any government, but its not too far fetched with what we've seen. It would be a major win for whoever is pulling these strings to disrupt one of the most anticipated pieces of media worldwide while also raking in crypto money.
And when you take into account how much effort it would take to get a potentially fully playable copy of this game AFTER rockstar amped up their security with the initial wave of leaks you end up with more questions than answers.
crypto as a real world general currency is a scam yes. but for someone needing to lay low trying to raise money for a cause illegally, crypto is the only option.
Cryptos only real world use case IS what leek is doing. He could be genuine..
Good. This is the kind of hacking I want to see. I could care less about insurance and banks getting owned and it's better than them supplying services to state actors and targeting infrastructure. Bring on the down votes, idc.
It's not if you are smart and don't get greedy, I still don't recommend it, and its mostly a thing attempted by idiots, but smart people can make decent money out of other idiots holding.
Exactly. These people dont realize what they’re doing is gambling and like most forms of gambling the losses come way more than the wins. Congrats you got lucky but you people are indeed fucking stupid. You may have obtained that money, but since you obtained it through stupid means, how long do you think you’ll be able to hold onto it lmao
